Worm Crystal
Please help improve this if you can. The Discussion page may contain suggestions.
The Worm crystal is a free-floating blue crystal located in a small room below the Holy Mountain shop, atop a metal pedestal, passively repelling worms.
It is not affected by gravity and while normal creatures can pass through it, physical bodies and projectiles can be blocked by it.
The Worm Crystal protects the Holy Mountain from worms by repelling them. However it can be broken, prompting the message: The Worm Crystal has shattered!You feel less safe.... This lets Worms burrow into the brickwork and anger the gods.
The room containing the Crystal can be accessed by breaking the weak brickwork to the left. This can be done with any starting explosive spell such as Bombs, Magic Missiles or even basic Firebolts.
Worm Crystals can also be found in the Frozen Vault.
Secret Usage
The worm crystal has a secret achievement use. Upon placing the crystal on the Mountain Altar, the screen will shake and it will say: That is not what you seek!.
Shortly after, multiple worms will start falling from the sky. Big worms spawned may drop an extra max health pickup. This process can be repeated as many times as you want, even in parallel worlds.
The easiest way to get it to the altar is to use the Telekinetic Kick perk. If you don't have it, you can use the methods below.
- You can use Kuu's gravitational field to transport the crystal.
- You can kick the crystal.
- Non-offensive spells like the Circle of Buoyancy and offensive ones with Null Shot can transport the crystal.
- As the crystal can fly away, making walls around the altar is helpful. The easiest way of creating them is combining a freezing spell with water. Another option is to use Chunk of Soil to create a solid structure around the altar, then dig a tunnel through it for the crystal.
